This document summarizes a study on discrimination against homosexuals in the commercial fishing industry. The study hypothesized that the male-dominated and hegemonic culture of fishing would lead to discrimination, especially against gay men. Surveys were administered to 45 commercial fishermen, including 20 women and 25 men, to assess attitudes toward working with gay and lesbian coworkers. The results showed that most women were comfortable working with lesbians but less so with gay men. Most men said they would hire a gay man or lesbian, though some had reservations about crew dynamics. Overall, the study found less homophobia than expected among female fishermen but more mixed attitudes among males.
The document outlines a student's idea for a short horror film about a group of friends watching a horror movie, with one friend becoming deranged and killing the others. Primary research through questionnaires found that the target 18-25 age group likes horror and comedy films. Horror was most popular among male respondents, while comedy was favored by females. Secondary research on the film Scream and online articles about writing short films informed the student's script development.
Lauren Allard conducted an exit poll of 12 people who had watched either the horror film Blair Witch or the comedy Bridget Jones's Baby. She asked them a series of 10 questions about their opinions and experiences of the film. Most respondents were students aged 11-18, with slightly more males than females. While most enjoyed Bridget Jones's Baby, most found Blair Witch boring with a poor storyline, though it had some scary jump scares. The film trailers were most effective at attracting audiences. Facebook was the most commonly used social media platform. Responses were mixed as to whether audiences would see the films again.
From a questionnaire of 5 people who watch horror films, the following results were found:
- Respondents were split evenly between males and females. Most were 17 years old students, with one 18 year old.
- Respondents enjoyed horror films for the suspense and tension they create.
- Preferences for paranormal vs. psychological horror films were evenly split.
- Common traits that make horror film trailers appealing included suspense, cliff hangers, good storylines and settings.

Twelve-Factor application pattern with Spring Frameworkdinkar thakur
The document discusses the twelve-factor application pattern for developing cloud-native applications and how the Spring Framework supports this methodology. It covers the twelve factors which include having a single codebase, explicit and isolated dependencies, storing configuration in the environment, treating backing services as attached resources, separating build and run stages, making applications stateless, binding to ports, scaling out via the process model, maximizing robustness through fast startup and graceful shutdown, keeping development, staging and production environments the same, treating logs as event streams, and running admin/management tasks as one-off processes. The Spring Framework provides features that help implement many of these twelve factors for building cloud-native applications.
The document describes a study that prepared porous alumina ceramics as supports for hydrogen gas separation membranes. Four formulations of alumina, polyvinyl alcohol, and magnesium nitrate were used to create 18 porous alumina supports. The supports were characterized by measuring their fired weight, soaked weight, suspended weight, porosity, water absorption, and bulk density. An analysis of variance test was used to determine if properties differed significantly between formulations.

The document discusses the concept of vulnerability and proposes the Flood House concept as a way to reduce flood vulnerability in deltas like the Mississippi Delta. It analyzes vulnerability in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina using the four components of vulnerability: threshold capacity, coping capacity, recovery capacity, and adaptive capacity. Threshold capacity was exceeded due to wetland loss and levee failures. Coping capacity was limited by evacuation issues and infrastructure failures. Recovery has been difficult due to pollution, infrastructure damage, and a large diaspora of residents who have not returned. The Flood House concept aims to increase all four capacities by bringing together stakeholders to discuss solutions.

The document discusses differences in how masculinity and femininity are perceived to influence romantic relationships. A study surveyed 326 college students and found that men were more likely than women to believe in traditional relationship dynamics like cohabitation improving marriage. Meanwhile, women were more likely to value love over other factors in choosing a mate. The author then surveyed 10 couples about gender roles and found that those identifying as more masculine or feminine aligned with traditional views, while androgynous individuals favored flexibility. The author concludes exposure to less rigid gender norms, like through education, can impact relationship beliefs.

Explanations of the Answers
1. True. Despite the stereotype, the research is consistent and clear. In classrooms, in offices, in
group discussions, in two-person conversations, men talk more than their fair share of the time.
For example, in one experiment male and female subjects were asked to verbally describe
pictures and engravings. The women's average description was approximately three minutes. For
a man, the average time was 13 minutes.
2. True. When women talk with other women, interruptions are evenly distributed. When men talk
with other men, interruptions are evenly distributed. However, when men and women talk with
one another, almost all interruptions are by male speakers.
Sociologists Candace West and Donald Zimmerman analyzed conversations in university
settings, both on and off campus. They found that males interrupt females much more often than
they interrupt other males and more often than females interrupt either males or females. These

The document summarizes research methods for a survey on gender equality and mental health. It describes how the survey was distributed to the target audience of 16-30 year olds on social media sites. The survey included questions on age, gender, experiences with discrimination and gender stereotypes. Results showed that more female respondents reported experiencing discrimination and feeling inferior due to their gender. Both genders reported being subjected to stereotypes about masculinity/femininity and emotions. The majority disagreed with the statement that support should only focus on helping female victims of violence.
The document summarizes a study on perceptions of relationships between men and women. It surveyed 10 heterosexual couples to assess their views on traditional gender roles. Results showed those identifying as masculine generally supported traditional roles, while androgynous individuals favored equality. Younger masculine men surprisingly supported women as primary caregivers. The author concludes identities and beliefs are influenced by generational changes, and that making masculinity/femininity more fluid could promote equality and self-expression.

What’s Love Got To Do With It?
The Evolution of Human Mating
By Meredith F. Small
Reviewed By Michael S. Kimmel
When Tina Turner first bitterly asked “What’s love got to do with it?” her voice was so drenched
with pain and regret, the listener knew better than to believe her.
Not so Meredith Small. A physical anthropologist whose main research has been on primate
mating behavior, Small joins a coterie of such writers as Robert Ardrey, Desmond Morris and
Lionel Tiger, who have sought to make evolutionary biology the foundation of studies of sexual
behavior.
In “What’s Love Got To Do With It,” Small argues that we’re genetically programmed to
experience sexual pleasure; hard-wired to search for young, attractive mates; driven to copulate
“Way down deep, underneath all the love and lust, underlying the attachment and intimacy, is
DNA pushing us along”
Like those male writers, she claims that our genetic predisposition toward reproductive success is
the driving force of our sex-seeking behavior. And like them, she assumes that sex is a constant,
universal and relatively unchanging experience. But unlike them, Small places no value on
judgments on the strategies that individuals may adopt to achieve that reproductive success.
Women, she argues, are as sexual as men; homosexuality is as “normal” as heterosexuality.
Small exposes many of her colleagues’ conclusions as based more on myth than on evolution.
Take, for example, the familiar canard that men are “naturally” predisposed toward promiscuity,
while women are “naturally” monogamous. Males’ prodigious sperm production, the argument
goes, means that it is in men’s interest to fertilize as many women as possible. But women
produce only one egg at a time, and gestation and child care take an extraordinarily long time,
which means that it is in their interest to mate with only one man for life.
Not only do such arguments assume what they are trying to explain, but their assumptions are
wrong to begin with. Sperm and eggs do not have little personalities, complete with ambitions
and motivations. What’s more, the evidence actually tilts the other way. Female humans are
among the only mammals who conceal estrus; that is, they do not go into “heat” when they are
sexually receptive. They are potentially sexually receptive all through their cycle. What’s more, a
woman has a clitoris, which “exists only to receive and give off sexual pleasure.” What could be
the evolutionary function of that?
Small argues that it is just as likely that women may be designed to maximize their reproductive
chances by promiscuity. If they have sex with a large number of male partners, they can ensure
that their offspring will have a significant number of men who believe that they are the father,
and who will, therefore, protect the baby and provide it with food.
“The ability to move from male to male certainly improves a female’s chance of finding the best
genes for her future offspring,” Small writes.
Males, by contrast, wo.
What is a man”Q & AIf both men and women arMoseStaton39
What is a “man”?
Q & A
If both men and women are constrained by a binary gender system, why is it more women than men find this system unfair?
2
The political activism aimed at changing gender relations has been called feminism and the women’s movement because women have been at the forefront of this movement. Even now it is women, more than men, who object to the way their lives are gendered. Why do you think men haven’t been in the forefront of a movement to challenge the gender binary?
2
Inequality: Men and Masculinities
Men and women are both forced by society to do gender, but the consequences and benefits of doing so are not symmetrical.
This is because the gender binary is hierarchical.
The hierarchy places men above women and values representation of masculinity above femininity.
This narrows the range of life experiences that seem acceptable and right.
3
This means that women routinely are positioned as helpers and caretakers to men while men are positioned as protectors and breadwinners. For women more than men, it results in reduced social status, lower financial rewards, and an expectation that men’s needs and interests should take priority.
3
The Gender of Cheerleading
Cheerleading was an all-male sport equivalent in prestige and masculinity to football.
Women were first allowed to join cheer squads in World War I, after the war there was an effort to end women cheerleading.
Cheerleading became less about leadership and more about support and sexiness.
As professions and activities become more female, their value and prestige decline.
4
Male cheer squads had prestige and were seen as leaders. Its athletes projected “force and grace.” The idea of women being involved in the sport was ridiculous, as cheerleading was considered too masculine for women.
4
Patriarchal Power
Patriarchy is “the rule of the father.” It refers to the control of female and younger male family members by select adult men.
The patriarch is “the king of his castle,” so his word is law at home.
Men own all property, including the bodies of their wives and children and any earnings or inheritance.
5
Well into the 1900s many European and American societies operated as patriarchs in which women and children had no rights.
In this environment, men own all property, including the bodies of their wives and children (or other unmarried female relatives in their care) and any earnings or inheritance of these women or children. A patriarch may have social and legal permission to punish his wife and his children physically, brutally if he chooses.

Patriarchy: Then
In patriarchal societies, women:
cannot vote
serve on juries
use birth control
work after marriage
keep their own wages

This document summarizes research on perceived differences between male and female brains and behaviors. It discusses common stereotypes that males are more logical/independent while females are more emotional/relationship-focused. Surveys found most people believe males are smarter but females believe they are smarter. Activities like sports are often seen as masculine while nurturing roles are seen as feminine.
1) The document discusses gender differences in violations of social norms based on an online survey. It found that women reported breaking social norms more often than men, such as being willing to use the bathroom of the opposite sex or hold hands with a same-sex friend in public.
2) Previous research cited found that women are more likely to seek help for mental health issues due to stronger sense of community and greater social acceptance. Younger children resort to magical explanations for norm violations.
3) The author's survey of 17 females and 24 males about situations like public bathroom use or cutting in line found that women reported more willingness to violate norms, though differences were smaller than expected.
1) The document discusses gender differences in violations of social norms based on an online survey conducted by the author.
2) The survey asked males and females questions about violating social norms such as using the bathroom of the opposite sex, lying to spare feelings, cutting in line, and public displays of same-sex affection.
3) The results showed that females reported being more willing to violate social norms and face potential social stigma compared to males. Examples given were a greater willingness among females to hold hands with a same-sex friend in public.
The document discusses the concept of biological sex as a spectrum rather than a binary, citing evidence of individuals who are intersex - with sexual characteristics that are not exclusively male or female. It argues that there are at least five sexes when considering intersex conditions like hermaphroditism. However, Western culture insists on recognizing only two sexes, often surgically altering intersex infants to fit into male or female categories.

Psaroudakis: Family and Football – The Psaroudakis Success StoryPsaroudakis
Psaroudakis, a name that resonates with football fans around the globe, is a testament to the powerful synergy between familial support and individual passion. Born on March 10, 1992, in the historic city of Heraklion, Crete, Psaroudakis’ journey to international football stardom is a compelling narrative of dedication, perseverance, and unwavering family support. His story not only highlights his athletic prowess but also underscores the crucial role his family played in shaping his career and character.
Psaroudakis’ early life in Heraklion was deeply influenced by a supportive and nurturing family environment. His father, a former semi-professional footballer, recognized Psaroudakis’ potential from an early age. Acting as his first coach, his father’s guidance was instrumental in igniting Psaroudakis’ passion for football. This paternal influence instilled in him a strong work ethic and fundamental skills that would become the foundation of his future success. His mother, a dedicated homemaker, provided a stable and nurturing environment, ensuring that Psaroudakis could pursue his dreams without any hindrances.
From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

2. Abstract Commercial fishing is a male dominated career; women have just begun entering into this work force within the last 10 years. This study it to determine if this hegemonic work environment would be discriminatory to homosexuals, based on hegemonic masculinity and homophobia. This study will also determine if men and women in the fishing industry will be more discriminatory to homosexuals of their own sex then the opposite sex.
3. Background No studies have been done of hegemony or homophobia in the fishing industry. The closest related study was on construction sites, where homosexual slurs were used to emasculate other men (Iacuone 257). In another study done concluded that heterosexual men and women had more negative attitudes and feeling towards homosexuals of their same sex (Whitley Jr. 287). This research supported my hypothesis in the sense that people would feel more uncomfortable working with homosexuals of their same sex. Terminology: Hegemonic masculinity- this is where men find it necessary to subordinate those they consider lesser; including women and homosexuals and men who don’t reach a certain masculine standard (Kimmel 10) . Homophobia- The fear, discomfort, and hatred not only towards homosexuals, but also the fear of being labeled a homosexual (Kimmel 306). In one study it described homophobia to no actually be a phobia but rather a cultural boundary created by history and society (AmaralMadureira 233).
4. Background Continued… (My Feelings) The fishing industry has been male dominated since the beginning, within the last 10 year it has been opened up to women; however with an average 5 member crew there may be one girl working aboard, and normally is a member of the captains family. With women just beginning to be accepted into this hegemonic work environment I believe that the majority of male workers would object for homosexual men to begin working aboard fishing vessels. I think that homophobia is a major issue especially in male dominant hegemonic careers. Women on the other had are more likely to accept working with a gay male, because they would not have fear of sexual advances. I also trust that men will be more accepting of working with a homosexual female. This is because they would feel that a lesbian is more masculine and could get the work done. I do however think that female crewmembers would be more uncomfortable working with a lesbian, they may fear being hit on or be uncomfortable; thinking they are always being checked out. I also think that for women entering the fishing industry, as well as other hegemonic careers, feel as though they too need to increase their masculinity to reach the standards of men so that they can receive respect from male co-workers. This is another reason why a lesbian may be more appealing to male fisherman for this line of work.
5. Hypothesis My first hypothesis is that, the fishing industry has a need for hegemonic masculinity, making this work environment discriminatory towards homosexual males. Homophobia, is a large contributor; captains would refuse to hire them, male deckhands would not work with them, however, females would work with them. My second hypothesis is that female homosexuals would have a high chance of being hired; being a lesbian would make the men feel as though the females are more masculine and less feminine, and therefore more capable of doing their job. With this is mind I think that female crewmembers would be more uncomfortable with a lesbian co-worker and would refuse to work with them because of homophobia.
6. Method Method and Procedure Objective I created a single survey given to both captains and crewmember. All participants were asked to be open and honest when answering the questions. Required to finish the survey in a single sitting and to not talk with other people while taking their survey, so there would be no outside influence to their answers, also they were asked not to discuss it afterwards, so they would not influence other people who have not taken it. They were given a single sided survey with 15 questions. The questions were mostly yes or no answers, some asked for an explanation so participants had a chance to express their feelings and reasoning. The survey was as follows... The Objective was to get a perspective on homophobia in the hegemonic work environment of the fishing industry the research also aimed at getting a range of ages, both men and women. These aspects could indicate more or less homophobia among the age and gender because of the different exposure to gays, as well as feelings about homosexuals who were of the same sex as the participant. Subjects 45 commercial seiner fisherman; captains and crewman alike 20 women ages 16-47 25 men ages 18-83
7.
8. Question 3 was to find out if people thought that homosexuality in males made them more feminine.
9. Questions 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15 were asked to determine if the participant was homophobic or not.
10. 9 and 14 was also to determine if people would even consider working with a homosexual and why or why not.
11. Questions 6 and 7 was asked to get a perspective of what a captain would do and why (if it had anything to do with crew).
12. Questions 8 and 10 to determine if people felt lesbians were more masculine and able to do physical tasks required compared to heterosexual women.
13.
14. Answers 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 all resulted in females in this industry not being homophobic.
15. In question 6 I was surprised a majority of people said they would hire a gay male, I imagined that they would think more about the crew; however, there are no women captains of seiner in Alaska which could be a reason for them not considering the crew.
16. Question 7 everyone said that they would hire a lesbian; surprising, yet it supports that that are not homophobic.
17. A majority of females did not think that lesbian were more capable that heterosexual females, in question 8.
18.
19. (Note- 5 males are not identified on this chart because they had refused to fill out a survey after realizing it was about homosexuals; their ages were 68, 53, 48, 34, and 19.) Table 2.1 Table 2.1, shown above, is presenting male and female answers for questions 4, 5, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 15; the questions which I asked to identify if the person was homophobic or not. Overall, this represents that homophobia in the fishing industry is very low compared to what I had originally believed
20. Conclusion My first hypothesis was neither wrong nor right in all components; however there many things were as I had theorized, while others were completely the opposite. The fishing industry does need hegemonic masculinity, but it’s not enforced through homophobia. Also, there is discrimination toward homosexual males from some people but not from all; it would be completely expectable for a gay male to work on a fishing vessel. My hypothesis was again correct in the aspect of females being comfortable with working with male homosexuals. My first hypothesis was however wrong, in the sense that captains would refuse to hire male deckhand, there are many captains who would not hire them, but a significant amount more than I had originally thought. My second hypothesis was right when it stated men felt lesbians were more masculine and would be comfortable working alongside them. I was wrong in thinking that female crewmembers would be more uncomfortable with a homosexual female co-worker, when really they are not homophobic, and that the majority would prefer working with a lesbian over a gay male. After I concluded my results I was more than satisfied, although my hypothesis was not completely correct the outcome came out for the better. I think there are still issues which need to be resolved involving homophobia, and discrimination. But, it is much further ahead than other hegemonic careers, such as construction. I am happy with my results, however, I feel as though if I could do this study again I could come up with more accurate and detailed results. Conclusively, I found that men in the fishing industry are homophobic, but not to the extent I had expected. Most would be comfortable working around and living with a homosexual male. There are however those people who are at the extreme homophobic, to the extent that they would not even fill out my survey. I also realized hegemonic masculinity is visible in the fishing industry, however homophobia dose not play a large role in it, if any. Men in this career are comfortable with who they are and are not afraid that they would be misrepresented as being gay. Also, if a captain was put in the situations of hiring a homosexual; I was right in thinking that they would hire females the majority of the time, but, unlike I had predicted there is a greater amount of captain who would hire gay males. I was also correct that the reason they would not hire them was because of the other crew members, however those who said that they would hire them didn’t mention their crew, and commented on personality and if they could do the job. The results from the female’s surveys were different and similar from what I had expected. As I thought they were comfortable around gay males, most would hire them if they were a captain and would work with them, and not feel uncomfortable living in close quarters with them. Unlike I had suspected, they were also just as comfortable working with homosexual females, if not more comfortable.
21. Conclusion Continued… Things I would do differently: I would create two different surveys one for captains and one for the crewmembers. the surveys would have more questions that related to hegemonic masculinity. Along with more in-depth questions about homophobia, and people’s comfort levels with homosexuals. Another thing is, I would survey a greater amount of people; trying to get 50 captains and at least 50 crewmembers, I would also try and get a larger variety of ages. Possible alternate explanations: The males who took the surveys could have been more excepting of homosexuals because the majority of them were from a younger age groups, and it is possible that the older age groups are less accustomed to homosexuals. Also the way, in which the questions were asked, could have altered their opinions. Example: Homophobia, they may have thought I was asking if they were afraid of homosexuals.. This research could help in the overall fight for equal rights of homosexuals because they could look at this study and realize that even in hegemonic careers there is acceptance of homosexuals. Also, any homosexual who was looking at fishing as a possible career they would find support from this study because they would know that many captains would be willing to higher them and crewmen willing to work with them, if they could show that they were just as capable of doing the physical tasks required. The research from this study could also be used for a social policy, to make a rule stating that; if a homosexual, of any gender, is as capable as a heterosexual they will not be denied a job, based on their sexuality. After finishing my study only more questions arose. To begin, I would like to understand the underlying reasons for homophobia, if it is not an actual phobia what causes people to have this hatred for homosexuals, it is solely culture? If so what part of culture plays the biggest part? Is it the idea of masculinity or what people are exposed to at a younger age; of how a relationship should be, something between a man and women? I also wonder if the reason people are so afraid to be labeled as being homosexual is because the term gay, has become something other than its original meaning. When people use it in their everyday language they are not referring to the sexual orientation of something, but rather using it as a curse word. Is it possible that people are more afraid of being labeled as gay because it is used derogatorily than because of its actual meaning?
